dinger

You endure a regular-season OPS of .654 for a postseason of two homers, eight RBIs, and a go-ahead dinger against the San Diego Padres in the deciding Game 5 of the division series.

Instead, Manny Machado hit a leadoff dinger to left center.

He added a crucial 14th dinger in the bonus period, doing just enough to force a swing-off against Bohm, who had 14 homers in his timed period but came up empty on all three of his bonus swing attempts — including one that died at the warning track.

After hitting a national-record 140 high school homers in Japan, Rintaro Sasaki has his first stateside dinger!

Wang said he wasn’t aware of this, and his moment of glory that Sunday — the team’s dreaded second dinger — turned into an automatic out that ended an inning.
